    Buffalo RV Park

    Clean, convenient, some mosquitoes

    Spacious, easy access, level sites with convenient hookups and garbage can at each site. Open landscape, but good space between sites. Price now $35 not $25. Good number of mosquitoes requires bug spray, and keeping RV buttoned up, or stay inside.

    Wyndemere Rock Garden County Park

    I don't think this is open

    When you suggest an edit, it doesn't leave any place to explain so figured I would do A. Review to provide some information. There are technically 2 campgrounds in windmere. The GPS Coordinates for the rock garden are the other campground, but neither seem to actually be at least R. V camping. I'll put up some pictures to help explain, but I wouldn't stay in either place. Where the GPS Coordinates are is across from the school which is open. And it's basically the football field and I didn't see any formalized camping there in The Rock garden. There's no way to camp in that. There's another park, a blockdown where I suppose you could camp. But there's no entrance or anything for an R. V. So I don't think either. Are actually open.

    Barney Campground

    Quiet spot for a night

    This really is a spot for an evening unless you know someone in town. I was given the first night free and only staying one night, ok. Parked behind the manager who is very nice. Wouldn't have found it except from the sign on the road.

    Brushvale Bridge Primitive Canoe Campsite

    Just a moderately flat spot

    This campground is really for the folks on the Red River. There is virtually nothing here. Accept some flat ground. Also, the mark is on the wrong side. This is on the West and North side of the road, not the South. And east. No spots, no services. Just a place to park and in between two fairly busy roads.

    Faust Park

    Bad Verizon signal, free, but no water or gray water. Trash cans available, though.

    They have trash cans, but no water, no grey dump, and bad fries and signal. Other than that, it seems to be pretty decent so far.

    Aber Park Campground

    Pretty park near State Historic Site

    I think you can stay for free and it seems to be connected to Harvest Hosts. I tried calling the number and it referred me to a different number so just figured someone would come at some point. The park is nice. Pit toilets, water and a playground. There is a state Historic site across the road and the North Country Trail comes right through which is what brought us to town.

    NCT Colfax Campground

    Simple campsite on the NCT

    This is a very simple campsite with the picnic table. A bitch, a fire ring and a toilet. It is mostly for people hiking. The north country trail but guessing anybody that wanted to walk in and use it could.

    Moon Lake

    No potable water or gray dump. 10 day stay limit.

    There are trash cans, a beach, a lake, and you need to Park on the grass. My 16,000lb bus parked in the grass without issue but it was bone dry when we parked there.

    The lot is definitely NOT level. Lots of insects, so wear your vetiver.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    One nighter

    Easy access, must have state recreation pass for vehicle. Mosquitoes galore. Electric hookups at site.
